Please help me choose my first Rolex! My mom is getting me a Rolex for my master's graduation. I probably won't be getting a second one in a good while, so I need to make a wise choice! I tried a few today and narrowed down to the Datejust 36mm or 31mm, silver stainless with oyster bracelet, silver dial and diamond markers.

I am a plus size woman and like large watches, but I'm tentative about getting the 36mm Rolex because I think that might not be as timeless as the 31mm. The 31mm looked pretty good on me, and it's a classic and sensible watch, but not so fashionable as the 36mm. So, what should I do?

Don't feel compelled to get the 36mm because other people like it. The 31mm is timeless and perfect too, and a more modern look than the 26mm classic ladies' size. Since these are such substantial watches (heavy, tall on the wrist) I found the 36mm simply too masculine on me and went with 31. Great size.

Hey everyone, thanks for the comments. I went to the store again yesterday and looked at both one more time. I like both, but think I like the 36mm better. The 36mm is more exciting, and the 31mm is more sensible. I took some pictures:
